We now interrupt this knitting blog, with an important message...

Knitting, yarn fondling, pattern gazing, and *gasp* Ravelrying all came to a standstill this week along with less important things like work, sleep, and eating as fires raced through the foothills of my community's backyard.

On my way to work on Monday, the fire was burning on both sides of the toll road, so the toll road was closed and traffic was forced forced onto surface streets.

My office building was then evacuated two hours later because the smoke was coming directly into the building.

There is nothing comforting about leaving work to go home and begin driving directly toward where fire raging and smoke is billowing.
